2019 again proved to be a wet year, wetter than previous years. With so much constant small amounts of rain, hours of no sunshine, and reduced tradewinds, our ground remained wet and often soggy. The soil never dried out. Mosses, molds, lichens, and fungi were more evident.
This coming year I need to grow veggies again, having used up much of our stored food supply (I had overstocked). So this pattern of wet & rain will have to be dealt with. Rain protection in the form of rain shields or tunnels will have to be considered. I will need to look for varieties that tolerant wet conditions and are more resistant to disease. It should be an interesting coming year.
